Community Bridges, Inc.

Community Bridges, Inc., a Mesa, Arizona-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, operates as a prime recipient and subrecipient on federal grants for integrated behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, and homeless services targeting American Indian and Alaska Native communities, low-income veteran families, and chronically homeless populations. The organization holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Indian Health Service valued at $5.121 million through March 2027, under which it delivers culturally sensitive residential behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services in Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona.

Community Bridges' federal footprint is dominated by grant work (66% prime awards, 34% sub-awards across 152 total awards). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Planning and Development office is the largest customer by award count (65 awards), primarily through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. HUD awards total more than $4.5 million across fiscal 2025 and 2026 alone. The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration anchors the second major customer set (16 awards), awarding Community Bridges approximately $4.469 million on a Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grant (CFDA 64.033) in October 2025 to deliver outreach, case management, and housing stability assistance to very low-income veteran families in Arizona through September 2026. The Department of Health and Human Services carries the third customer concentration: the Indian Health Service holds 21 awards totaling $8 million combined potential value across delivery orders issued against the single-award IDIQ for behavioral health and substance abuse services, while the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $750,000 Center for Mental Health Services grant (CFDA 93.532) on September 30, 2026, to expand Behavioral Health Engagement Teams in Phoenix's I-17 Corridor, and holds approximately $4.5 million in Maricopa County homeless outreach grants under the Substance Abuse Treatment program (CFDA 93.243) running through September 2027.

Community Bridges' service footprint spans Arizona's Maricopa, Pima, Cochise, and Gila counties with operational presence in Phoenix, Mesa, and Tucson. Under the IHS contract vehicle (contract 75H71223D00003, $5.121 million), the organization has issued eight task orders totaling $544 thousand from April 2023 through April 2026, with individual delivery orders ranging from $10,406 to $102,240 for non-personal behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services. A second IHS indefinite delivery contract (75H71223D00015I) generated 10 task orders totaling $243 thousand. As a grant subrecipient, Community Bridges contracts with Arizona Department of Housing, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Pima County, the City of Phoenix, and the District of Columbia to deliver rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, emergency shelter operations, outreach and engagement services, and housing stabilization support. Named sub-awards include provision of seven units of permanent supportive housing in Gila County for chronically homeless individuals with co-occurring mental illness or substance use disorders (Arizona Department of Housing sub-awards, July 2023 and July 2024), administration of 16 units of rapid rehousing rental assistance in Cochise and Gila counties (Arizona Department of Housing sub-awards, August 2022, July 2023, and July 2024), and operation of the Toole Avenue Shelter in Tucson providing emergency shelter and essential services (City of Phoenix ESG sub-award, July 2024). Community Bridges also operates mobile outreach and crisis stabilization services across three teams in the East Valley, West Valley, and Phoenix (24/7, 365 days per year) and provides street outreach with Serious Mental Illness determinations in Maricopa and Cochise counties.

Activity has declined year over year from 27 awards in 2023 to 5 awards in 2026 (through September). Six awards with combined potential value of $88 thousand face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. Combined obligated dollars ($111.9 million) exceed combined potential value ($8 million) by a factor of 14, reflecting the fact that the source data captures cumulative long-term grant funding and multi-year delivery order work, not active contract ceilings. The organization competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal award portfolio. Primary NAICS concentration reflects the organization's mission: Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities (20 awards) and Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers (1 award).
